  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  WHX     $-5.730   -35.09%   856,025      29.16%    1,043,751    35.56%    -187,726     -328

  EDU     $-5.120   -35.02%   17,863,805   25.83%    21,568,283   31.19%    -3,704,478   -7,235

  CCMO    $-0.550   -16.42%   34,200       24.78%    94,450       68.43%    -60,250      -1,095

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely low price friction in their stocks. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows WHX with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-5.73000 and a Friction Factor of -328 shares. That means that it only took 328 more shares of selling than buying to move WHX lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
